MEMORANDUM
TO:
Scott Botcher, City Manager
Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director -4
FROM:
DATE:
March 16, 2000
SUBJ:
Authorization to Enter into An Architectural Agreement with Gary
Hittle, Roundhouse Renovation
The 1997 Park, Open Space and Trail Referendum allocated $40,000 for
restoration of the roundhouse at Roundhouse Park. An assessment prepared by
Locus Architecture resulted in the finding that a budget twice this amount would
be necessary to complete the project. The initial budget could do the job, but in a
band-aid manner with limited long term value. For $80,000 the structure would
basically be gutted down to just the walls and foundation, then rebuilt.
The Park and Recreation Commission held several neighborhood meetings
discussing the merits of preserving the local landmark versus tearing it down. The
consensus was to preserve the roundhouse for use as a winter warming house,
summer park shelter, and local landmark.
This recommendation was received by the City Council during the 1999 budget
process. The additional $40,000 \Vas set aside in the 2000-2004 capital budget.
To move forward with the necessary work, I have met with two architectural
firms. The resulting proposals are attached, with Locus Architecture priced at a
maximum of$13,IOO and Gary Hittle at $3,600. The variation in price is
exaggerated by the fact that Locus is including more services; i.e. mechanical,
electrical. However, these variations do not close a $9,500 price gap. Staff would
assume responsibility for coordinating these electrical and mechanical under Mr.
Hittle's proposal.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that staff be authorized to enter into agreement with Mr. Gary
Hittle for architectural services associated with the roundhouse in an amount not
to exceed $3,600.

level plan drawing, and a roof framing plan drawing with general notes
outlining the renovation and construction work to be done. Elevations,
sections, and any detail drawings needed to further show and explain the
work will also be prepared. The final document delivered will include
all of the above information being shown and specified on one or two
24"X 36" sheets of paper.
There will also be several design concepts prepared for the new entry
canopy and roof system. These drawings will be presented for selection
and approval. The approved concept will be incorporated into the final
construction document.
All information presented in the construction document will be done with
the understanding that any mechanical, electrical, and structural
engineering of said information will be the responsibility of the Owner,
the City of Chanhassen. The Owner will also be responsible for any and
all building code compliances of the work presented.

than you would be considered additional services and, thus, not included in tbe cap. Also, I have separated out tbe
œnstIuction .observation phase as WI item payable ,on.an hourly ,basis,.also not mcluded m the ,cap. However, the
engineering fee includes construction observation for their portion as outlined in their proposal.
